Introduction:
Contact tracing is the process used to identify those who come into contact with
people who have tested positive for many contagious diseases – such as measles,
HIV, and COVID-19 – and is a long-standing practice in New Jersey and around
the world.
Contact tracing goes hand in hand with testing. It is part of the process of
supporting patients with suspected or confirmed infection.

Here's how it works:
● When you test positive for COVID-19, in addition to providing you with
support, the lab that tested you loads your test data onto the State's secure
epidemiological surveillance system called the Communicable Disease
Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS).
● Your positive case is then shared with your Local Health Department, who
will call you to determine close contacts that you may have spread the virus
to.
● A close contact is anyone who was within six feet of you for more than 10
minutes at least two days before your positive test if you didn't have any
symptoms, or two days before your first symptom appeared.
● Contact tracers – trained professionals from the community -- get in
touch with your contacts to recommend next steps like self-quarantining
and to share resources about how those people can get tested.
NOTE: Your information is confidential. Your name will not be released to your
contacts or your COVID-19 status
● Contacts are provided with education, information, and support to
understand their risk, what they should do to separate themselves from
others who are not exposed, how they should monitor themselves for
illness, and the possibility that they could spread the infection to others
even if they themselves do not feel ill.
● Local Health Departments across New Jersey have been conducting contact
tracing for COVID-19 since the State identified the first case on March 4.
However, as the case count has grown, Local Health Departments need
more help getting this critical job done.
● The information that Local Health Departments are collecting is limited in
scope, detail, use, and dissemination solely to what's necessary to identify,
trace, contain, and treat COVID-19.
For COVID-19, the ability to scale our contact tracing capacity is absolutely
crucial to break the chain of transmission, slow community spread, and restart
the economy.
It is important to note that contact tracing is a decades-old common practice in

public health. It is not the same thing as "exposure notification" or "digital
alerting" tools. These consumer apps, such as those created with Google and
Apple's API, are not contact tracing tools. These apps function as a way for the
public to track if they have come into contact with a person who has tested
positive and entered that information into their phone.
NOTE: If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of your conversation with a
contact tracer, you may hang up and call your local health department. You
should also feel free to request the name and ID of anyone who calls.

What is Close Contact?
❖ Close Contacts Traced are close contacts identified during the interview
with a Confirmed COVlD—19 Case, and/or as indicated in the COVlD—19
CIF with contact details.
❖ Assessed would mean that the Close Contact was interviewed either via
phone or through other messaging applications, or by face-to—face
interview, and the health status and disposition were determined.
Take a closer look at the image below to further understand how Close Contact is
described.
For identified suspect COVID-19 cases, data fields of the COVID-19 Case

 Contact Tracer’s Guide in the Conduct of Close Contact Profiling
Introduction:
Case investigation and contact tracing, a core disease control measure employed
by local and state health department personnel for decades, is a key strategy for
preventing further spread of COVID-19. Immediate action is needed.
Communities must scale up and train a large workforce and work collaboratively
across public and private agencies to stop the transmission of COVID-19.
Case Investigation Work Flow
 Case investigation is part of the process of supporting patients with

suspected or confirmed infection.

up
● In case investigation, public health staff work with a patient to help them
recall everyone with whom they have had close contact during the
timeframe while they may have been infectious.
● Public health staff then begin contact tracing by warning these exposed
individuals (contacts) of their potential exposure as rapidly and sensitively
as possible.
● To protect patient privacy, contacts are only informed that they may have
been exposed to a patient with the infection. They are not told the identity
of the patient who may have exposed them.

up
● Contacts are provided with education, information, and support to
understand their risk, what they should do to separate themselves from
others who are not exposed, monitor themselves for illness, and the
possibility that they could spread the infection to others even if they
themselves do not feel ill.
● Contacts are encouraged to stay home and maintain social distance from
others (at least 6 feet) until 14 days after their last exposure, in case they
also become ill. They should monitor themselves by checking their
temperature twice daily and watching for cough or shortness of breath. To
the extent possible, public health staff should check in with contacts to

up
make sure they are self-monitoring and have not developed symptoms.
Contacts who develop symptoms should promptly isolate themselves and
notify public health staff. They should be promptly evaluated for infection
and for the need for medical care.
Case investigation and contact tracing is a specialized skill. To be done

effectively, it requires people with the training, supervision, and access to social
and medical support for patients and contacts. Requisite knowledge and skills for
case investigators and contact tracers include, but are not limited to:
● An understanding of patient confidentiality, including the ability to conduct

interviews without violating confidentiality (e.g., to those who might
overhear their conversations)

up
● Understanding of the medical terms and principles of exposure, infection,
infectious period, potentially infectious interactions, symptoms of disease, pre-
symptomatic and asymptomatic infection.
● Excellent and sensitive interpersonal, cultural sensitivity, and interviewing
skills such that they can build and maintain trust with patients and
contacts
● Basic skills of crisis counseling, and the ability to confidently refer patients
and contacts for further care if needed
● Resourcefulness in locating patients and contacts who may be difficult to

reach or reluctant to engage in conversation
● Understanding of when to refer individuals or situations to medical, social,

or supervisory resources
● Cultural competency appropriate to the local community
up
Case investigation and contact tracing is part of the process of supporting
patients and warning contacts of exposure in order to stop chains of
transmission.
Given the magnitude of COVID-19 cases and plans to eventually relax mitigation
efforts such as stay at home orders and social distancing, communities need a
large number of trained case investigators and contact tracers. Case investigators
need to quickly locate and talk with the patients, assist in arranging for patients
to isolate themselves, and work with patients to identify people with whom the
patients have been in close contact so the contact tracer can locate them. The
actual number of staff needed is large and varies depending on a number of
factors including but not limited to:
● The daily number of cases

● The number of contacts identified
● How quickly patients are isolated, and contacts are notified and advised to
stay home, self-monitor, and maintain social distance from others
The time to start building the trained workforce is now.
Time is of the essence.

Identifying contacts and ensuring they do not interact with others is critical to
protect communities from further spread. If communities are unable to effectively
isolate patients and ensure contacts can separate themselves from others, rapid
community spread of COVID-19 is likely to increase to the point that strict
mitigation strategies will again be needed to contain the virus.
Case investigators and contact tracers need to:
● Immediately identify and interview people with SARS CoV-2 infections and
COVID-19 (i.e., disease)
● Support isolation of those who are infected
● Warn contacts of their exposure, assess their symptoms and risk, and
provide instructions for next steps
● Link those with symptoms to testing and care
Based on our current knowledge, a close contact is someone who was within 6 feet
of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 48 hours before illness
onset until the time the patient is isolated. They should stay home, maintain social
distancing, and self-monitor until 14 days from the last date of exposure.
up
Case investigation and contact tracing in care facilities, other congregate
living settings and households with many people living in one house is a
priority.
Case investigation and contact tracing with COVID-19 potentially exposed at

work and patients in health care facilities, congregate living settings or housing
with many people is complex. Appropriate engagement with infection control and
occupational health programs is recommended. Priority settings include:
● Health care facilities including long-term care facilities

● Group home/board
● Homeless shelters
● Federal, state and local correctional facilities
● Crowded, multigenerational housing
In addition to health care workers, it is important to assess interactions between

residents and all staff, including but not limited to activity coordinators, food
service staff, and sanitation management. Transitional case management plans
should be put in place for patients in isolation and contacts who are separated
for monitoring. Management plans should also be created for transitioning from
one setting to another, such as transitions from hospitals to acute or long-term
care facilities or home isolation, or from prison and jail to parole and probation.
Social services and housing will be needed for contacts unable to separate
themselves from others in their current living situation.
Separating contacts from people who are not exposed is critical to the success of
any contact tracing effort and requires social supports for individual compliance
and medical monitoring. First and foremost is the assessment of an individual’s
ability to stay home and maintain social distance from others, a safe environment
that provides the necessary supports (private room and bathroom, adequate food
and water, and access to medication) and the ability to practice adequate
infection control. For a portion of the U.S. population this will be a challenge,
particularly for some of the most vulnerable populations.
Support services for consideration include housing, food, medicine, and economic
supports. For contacts without a primary care provider, linkage to clinical care
may be needed. Support for medical monitoring includes patient care packages
(e.g., thermometers, sanitizers, mask, gloves) and technological supports for
medical monitoring (e.g., mobile phone apps). If possible, contacts should be
asked to voluntarily stay home, monitor themselves, and maintain social
distancing from others. However, health departments have the authority to issue
legal orders of quarantine, should the situation warrant that measure.
Communication with the public is crucial.

Engagement of the public with case investigators and contact tracers must be
widely accepted in order to protect friends, family, and community members from
future potential infections. Key public officials and community leaders will need
to be engaged and supportive of case investigation and contact tracing efforts.
up
Consider reaching out to community leaders as part of the neighborhood-level
case investigation and contact tracing team. To be successful, a community will
need public awareness, and understanding and acceptance of case investigation
and contact tracing and the need for contacts to separate themselves from others
who are not exposed. Community members need to take responsibility to follow
the guidance from public health agencies.
Data management and technology will be needed.

Case investigation, contact tracing, and contact follow-up and monitoring will
need to be linked with timely testing, clinical services, and agile data
management systems to facilitate real-time electronic transmission of laboratory
and case data for public health action. Technology partners are key in the
modification of existing systems and the development of new user-friendly data
interfaces to manage multiple data streams with seamless interoperability. Case
management tools can help automate key pieces of the case investigation and
contact tracing process, making the overall process more efficient. Ideally, data
systems would also include automated reports to aid in monitoring progress and
outcomes of case investigation and contact tracing. Data sharing agreements
between local, tribal and state, and federal jurisdictions need to be established or
augmented to ensure timely and accurate data collection and sharing. Digital
Contact Tracing Tools for COVID-19
Ongoing monitoring and assessment of case investigation and contact

tracing efforts will be needed.
Public health agencies and their partners will need to monitor some key
components of their programs to improve performance as needed. Potential
metrics routinely reviewed could include the following process and outcome
measures:
● Case interviewing: Time to interview from symptom onset and from

diagnosis; proportion interviewed; median number of contacts elicited;
proportion with no contacts elicited.
● Contact notification: Proportion of contacts notified; time from first
potential exposure to notification.
● Contact follow-up: Daily proportion of contacts whose status is evaluated;
proportion of contacts with symptoms evaluated within 24 hours of onset of
symptoms; proportion of contacts who complete their full self-monitoring
period.

up
Contact tracing starts after the Case investigation of confirmed Covid-19
cases.
Identify settings/ places where the contact

has been exposed
Identify all contacts who have had contact with a confirmed case from
2 days before symptom (use date of sample collection for asymptomatic
cases as basis, until test results negative with laboratory confirmation

of last exposure with confirmed case and for symptomatic, and date of onset
of symptoms
Thoroughly document the common exposures and type of contact with the
confirmed or probable case
The Close Contact Line List Form and Close Contact Form is available to assist the
LCCTs in developing plan in doing the contact tracing, ensuring completeness of
data, and validating data via available resources.
COLLECTING CLOSE CONTACT DEMOGRAPHICS
Aim of the conduct of collecting close contact’s information is to verify their

Content:
1. General Rule in the contact tracing set by the respective governing

agencies
Introduction:
When disease can travel so quickly, information has to move even faster. Tracers
need to identify and locate close contacts of a positive case immediately and make
sure they do not interact with others. This is critical to protect communities from
further spread of the virus.
As a general rule, contact tracing should have no boundaries.
A Contact Tracing Team (CTT) can use the phone or any other means of
communication at their disposal.
The CTT from one LGU may seek the assistance of another LGU in determining
the location of, or obtaining information about, a close or general contact.

up
For recording and reporting purposes, the following parameters are hereby set:
a. Close or general contacts residing in the same LGU as the CTT shall be
reflected and counted in the report of the concerned CTT;
b. Even if the close or general contacts are residents of an LGU outside of

the official jurisdiction of the concerned CTT, the contacts shall be
counted, and the information about them reflected, in the report of the
concerned CTT, unless the concerned CTT officially endorses the
contacts to another LGU. In which case, the LGU-endorsee shall count
and reflect the contacts in their own contact tracing report, and the
endorsing LGU will no longer include the contacts in their own report.
Interview potential case to determine if they meet the definition for suspected,
probable, or confirmed case and obtain epidemiological info
Collect Personal information & demographics (see Profile of Covid-19 Close

Asymptomatic with close contact
People are 'asymptomatic' when they test positive for COVID-19 without having
shown any symptoms.
It is thought that in many COVID-19 cases, the infected person has a very mild
form of the disease. Common symptoms – such as a cough, fever or tiredness –
may not develop to any noticeable extent, or symptoms that do exist may be
atypical and not look like the most common forms of the disease.

up
Symptomatic
People are 'symptomatic' when they test positive for COVID-19 with evident
symptoms. Defining a typical progression of COVID-19 symptoms could help
officials determine which public-health measures are particularly useful for
preventing the virus' spread.

Establish Follow up Standard and Procedures in Conducting
Follow Up
After reading the INFORMATION SHEET, you must be able to:
● Identify the standards and procedures in conduct follow up.
Introduction
Daily follow up of persons who are quarantined should be conducted within

the facility for the duration of the quarantine period and should include screening
for body temperature and symptoms. Groups of persons at higher risk of infection
and severe disease may require additional surveillance owing to chronic
conditions or they may require specific medical treatments.
Consideration should be given to the resources and personnel needed and

rest periods for staff at quarantine facilities. This is particularly important in the
context of an ongoing outbreak, during
which limited public health resources may
be better prioritized for health care
facilities and case-detection activities.
Respiratory samples from

quarantined persons, irrespective of
whether they have symptoms, should be
sent for laboratory testing at the end of
the quarantine period.
The Guideline for Home quarantine / Quarantine in non-health care settings
1. Allocate a separate room with adequate ventilation at home if possible.

Household members should stay in another room or should be separated from
the returnee.
2. Maintain at least one meter distance from family members.
3. Other household members should use a separate bathroom. If sharing the

same bathroom, cleaning of taps, doorknobs and utensils with soap and water
are a requirement.

up
4. Minimize visitors to the house, the returnee should not interact with any
visitors
5. Frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds at a time
and maintain alcohol based hand hygiene in instances where hand washing
facilities are inadequate
6. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hand
7. The home quarantined person is expected to monitor body temperature using

a thermometer twice a day. If he/she develops fever , cough, difficulty in
breathing, sore throat, body aches and pain, including flu like symptoms,
immediately inform MOH / PHI of the area
8. After use, disposable facemasks and gloves should be properly discarded

without reuse, preferably in a closed container
9. Assign separate dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels,

bedding, and other items for the quarantined person
10. Used utensils, bed linen and clothes should be washed with soap and water
Monitoring of Close Contacts under Quarantine
1. The Barangay LGU, through the BHERT, supported by other volunteers and
contact tracing personnel shall monitor close contacts under quarantine for
the development or progression of signs and symptoms of the disease.
2. The BHERT shall update all contacts’ Signs and Symptoms Log Forms (Annex
H) daily.
3. Any previously asymptomatic close contact who develops signs and symptom
shall be referred by the BHERT to the P/C/MESU and shall be re-assessed, re-
classified, managed depending on classification as specified in Annex D.
4. Any symptomatic close contact who by the end of the 14-day quarantine
remained symptomatic but still does not fit suspect case definition, should be
re-assessed and managed as per current clinical practice guidelines. Said
close contact should
5. Remain in self-isolation while undergoing said assessment.

Introduction
Roles for Monitoring and Managing

COVID-19 Patients in Community Contact
Tracers in the localities are well
positioned to align and integrate the care
of COVID- 19 positive patients in the
community.
This section describes the zonal
processes and resources recommended to
enable continuity of care. Primary
healthcare and operations, in
collaboration with Contact Tracers when
they are active, are responsible to ensure
each barangay has a plan and can
implement the following:
• A plan to ensure that patients will be monitored and managed in alignment with
Presumed/Confirmed COVID-19 Positive Primary Care Pathways, including but
not limited to, processes for after-hour care (including weekends), patients who
are unable or unwilling to self-isolate, etc.
• Admission and discharge pathways to safely transition patients between care

providers and care settings (i.e., Home to Hospital to Home Guideline)
• A plan to receive discharged patients back into community and primary care
and ensures appropriate follow up, as per acute clinical assessment for both
attached and unattached patients
• Mitigation strategies and surge plans to support primary care if they are unable
to attach or provide follow up to a patient (e.g., secondary assessment center,
alternate care center)

up
• Coordination of resources and treatment options available to assess, treat and
stabilize individuals receiving continuing care supports within home living,
supportive living, facility living (long-term care) and palliative & end of life care
programs
• Access to resources and decision support tools, including specialist advice, care
pathways and documentation aids
• Access to patient self-management aids and tools to enable self-isolation,

symptom monitoring, timely access to health care and keeping other people safe
• Processes to monitor and manage patients who are vulnerable and/or have
complex care needs in community settings and may be susceptible to contracting
COVID-19
REPORTING
1. PUM who developed symptoms should be reported immediately to Regional

Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) or Loca! Surveillance Officer for
transport to nearest health facility.
2. All household members of PUM should be advised to seek immediate
medical care when signs and symptoms developed.
3. Monitoring of PUM’s and isolated cases by the contact tracers in
collaboration with CESU must be supported with a written document such
as Contact Follow -Up Form. The nurses and midwives in charge should
monitor the health condition of the clients every day and must document it
accordingly.

up
SELF-CHECK 2.2-2
GATHERING INFORMATION WITH ISOLATION
1. Any person, regardless of nationality, race and age, who does not
exhibit any sign or symptom, has history of travel to other areas of
China and/or history of exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19,
within the past 14 days, shall be required to undergo monitored home
quarantine.
2. Any person, regardless of nationality, race and age, who exhibits fever
or any symptom of lower respiratory illness, and has a history of travel
to other countries with a confirmed case of COVID-19 but without any
history of exposure, shall be advised to undergo monitored home
quarantine.
3. Initial coordination should be done with the BHERTS on the logistical,

administrative and clinical parameters to be standardized in any
attempt to refer a PUM for transfer or consultation.
4. All household members of PUM should be advised to seek immediate

medical care when signs and symptoms developed.
5. PUM who developed symptoms should be reported immediately to

Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) or Local
